SSL Certificates

As of October 17, 2017 all SnapRetail-powered websites have SSL certificates installed. We are offering the SSL certificate free of charge through the end of 2017. What does this mean?

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is security technology that provides an encrypted connection between a web server and web browser. This ensures that your customer’s data cannot be read while it is being sent to your website.

Visitors will browse your site on an HTTPS-enabled connection. If they have the HTTP version of your site bookmarked, they’ll be forwarded to the HTTPS-connection automatically.

When your site is viewed it will show as Secure, so visitors know it can be trusted. In Google Chrome, this will be shown by the word “Secure” and a padlock appearing in green in the address bar.
